NewFmt = opc.setDateDisplayFormat(...) sets the date display format and returns the new date display format in NewFmt.

Examples

Load the OPC HDA example data set and show the values of one of the loaded variables.

load opcSampleHdaData;
hdaDataSmall(1).showValues

Set the date display format to show time only, and display the values again.

opc.setDateDisplayFormat('HH:MM:SS');
hdaDataSmall(1).showValues
